[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 2286962, member: 813"] But you forget, if you take a prc you don't get the other abilities of a Xth level core class. You give them up and advance in the PrC. So of course the prc has to give you abilities like a core class and the poor prcs make these bonus feats. Stat up a rogue-10/shadowdancer-10 and then just go rogue-20 (or some other multiclass) and use your feats. The second build will not be a shadowdancer, just shadowdancer-like. Your observation should be "Poorly designed PrCs grant too many bonus feats." This is not an inherent flaw with PrCs. It is a flaw with poorly tested material. D20 has no meta-system with which you can emperically say X is a balanced spell/feat/class/race/monster. So complain that there are too many poorly designed PrCs. But as a concept, there is nothing inherently wrong with the concept of classes you take after 1st level. [/QUOTE]
